神经电生理检测对多灶性运动神经病诊断价值的初步研究

目的 探讨神经电生理检查在多灶性运动神经病(MMN)中的诊断价值。方法对16例MMN患者及16名健康对照进行运动神经传导速度和感觉神经传导速度检查，记录刺激引出的复合肌肉动作电位的波幅、波宽、面积、位相和时限，进行对比分析，判定是否有运动神经传导阻滞(CB)或暂时性离散(TD)，并有选择性地进行常规肌电图检查。结果16例患者均可见有一根以上运动神经或至少一根运动神经的一个以上部位出现CB或CD。其中13例双上肢正中神经，尺神经出现CB，3例以正中神经、尺神经的远端出现CB首发，随病情进展出现下肢腓深神经CB。仅有2例感觉神经传导速度稍有减慢，波幅略有降低。16例患者神经受累区域以下所支配肌肉肌电图检查见有神经源性损害。结论MMN是一种以远端神经受累为主的不对称性周围神经病，神经电生理检查对诊断和鉴别诊断．MMN起重要作用，CB是MMN的主要神经电生理表现。

选择性上肢神经阻滞和静脉局部麻醉的进展

临床实践中，尽管臂丛神经阻滞可采用多种人路以满足上肢区域麻醉的需要，但有时仍需应用一些不常见的技术，如选择性上肢神经阻滞和静脉局部麻醉（IVRA），来阻滞非源自臂丛的神经或弥补臂丛神经阻滞不全。     

Mapping of odor-related neuronal activity using a fluorescent derivative of glucose

Activity labeling was applied to the olfactory systems of the terrestrial slug Limax valentianus using 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG), a fluorescent derivative of glucose. 2-NBDG was incorporated into cultured Limax olfactory interneurons, and this was partially blocked by the presence of a high concentration of glucose in the medium, indicating that a part of the uptake of 2-NBDG is mediated by glucose transporters. Next, in order to map odor-related neuronal activity in the primary olfactory center, tentacular ganglion, we injected 2-NBDG into the body cavities of slugs and exposed them to odors or clean air (control). In the odor-stimulated animals, the cell mass region was strongly stained. The digit-like extensions and the neuropil region were also stained in some animals. The control animals showed no staining. The neurons in the cell mass are thought to be involved in generating oscillating activities in the tentacular ganglion, and their activation may imply modulation of oscillatory activity during odor processing. Our results show that 2-NBDG is useful for mapping neuronal activity in vivo.     

脊神经节神经元周围突至肾及体壁的分支投射

实验将快蓝(FB)和核黄(NY)分别注入大鼠左肾纤维膜下及左体壁神经干内,结果在荧光镜下发现左T_(9-13),L1脊神经后根节(DRG)内存在双标记细胞,提示大鼠T_(9-13),L1段DRG内的部分神经元的周围突分支支配肾及体壁,为肾绞痛所致牵涉痛的解释,提供了神经解剖学基础。     

New regimen for interpleural block in children

A new regimen for postoperative analgesia after thoracic surgery is proposed. Eight children received an interpleural infusion using bupivacaine 0.1% in a regimen from 0.5 ml·kg^?1·h^?1 up to 1 ml·kg^?1·h^?1, for 48 h according to the pain scores. The plasma levels after 24 h and 48 h were measured as well as the pleural level and in two patients the free fraction of plasma bupivacaine and the plasma PPX (a metabolite of bupivacaine) and one patient the orosomucoid (main plasma protein involved in bupivacaine protein binding) were also measured pre and postoperatively. The results shows the safety of such a regimen, for two days of postoperative analgesia.     

A Ro/SS-A auto-antibody positive mother's infant revealed congenital complete atrioventricular block,followed by insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and multiple organ failure

We experienced a congenital complete atrioventricular block infant who was born from a Ro/SS-A antibody positive mother. Ro/SS-A antibody was also found in this baby which was presumed to be mediated by the maternal placenta. Temporary cardiac pacing was required at birth and pacemaker implantation was performed at 9 months. At 11 months of age, the baby fell into shock and experienced multiple organ failure because of diabetes mellitus-induced coma. The association between congenital complete heart block and the Ro/SS-A antibody is well known. However, the accompaniment of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus has not been reported previously. As the Ro/SS-A antigen appears in the cytoplasm of many tissues, the possibility of an association between Ro/SS-A antibody and diabetes mellitus is difficult to deny. We report this rare case to draw attention to the possibility that babies who are born from an Ro/SS-A antibody positive mother may develop diabetes mellitus as well as congenital complete heart block.     

Comparative effects of stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion and the superior sagittal sinus on cerebral blood flow and evoked potentials in the cat

The superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and the trigeminal ganglion (Vg) of anesthetized cats were stimulated electrically and field potentials in the upper cervical spinal cord and regional cerebral blood flow were recorded. Stimulation of the entire ganglion produced smaller field potential changes in two regions (medioventral area (MVA); dorsolateral area (DLA] of the upper spinal cord than did stimulation of the sagittal sinus (Vg/SSS response ratio = 17% for the MVA and 48% for the DLA). Stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion increased blood flow in only the frontal and parietal cortices (+93% and +33%), whereas stimulation of the sinus produced both larger changes in these areas (+137% and +139%) and also produced changes in regional cerebral blood flow in the thalamus (+122%).     

Ultrasound biomicroscopic features of spherophakia

Background: Spherophakia is an uncommon diagnosis. This is the first case report of spherophakia evaluated by ultrasound biomicroscopy.
Methods: Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a new diagnostic technique developed by one of the authors and provides images with microscopic resolution of the anterior segment. A patient with spherophakia was evaluated by ultrasound biomicroscopy (Zeiss-Humphrey, 50MHz) before and after YAG laser iridotomy.
Results: Ultrasound biomicroscopic assessment revealed a shallow anterior chamber, a very steep anterior lens curvature, iridolenticular contact, elongated zonules, and an increased distance between the lens equator and the ciliary processes. Angle closure glaucoma was due to a pupil block mechanism. The pupil block was relieved by YAG laser iridotomy.
Conclusions: Ultrasound biomicroscopy is a useful technique to confirm the diagnosis of spherophakia. The pupil block in spherophakia is relieved by YAG laser iridotomy.     

双针会师法腹腔丛阻滞对顽固性上腹部癌痛患者的镇痛作用

晚期癌痛患者17例，男9例，女8例，年龄46—85岁，体重38—63kg，VASⅢ或Ⅳ级。CT引导下经T12-L1椎间隙左、右穿刺，针尖分别抵达膈脚外腹主动脉旁及膈脚内。分别注入含造影剂（30％碘海醇注射液1ml）的1％利多卡因8ml，CT示所注药液有会师趋势或已会师包绕腹主动脉后，左、右分别注入无水酒精20、15ml，再次CT观察酒精扩散情况，以视觉模拟评分（VAS）及改良生活质量（QOL）评分评价镇痛效果。会师包绕腹主动脉的11例患者中8例（73％）镇痛效果满意至去世；另6例酒精在腹主动脉周围被转移的淋巴结分割呈斑点、斑片状，其中3例（50％）完全无痛。与腹腔丛阻滞（NCPB）前相比，NCPB后各时点的VAS评分下降，QOL评分升高（P〈0．01）。双针会师法腹腔丛阻滞可使所注无水酒精在腹腔丛恰当分布，对顽固性上腹部癌痛患者有较好的镇痛效果。
